Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in backyard and a fairly open floor plan offering a lot of play space. My dog and the dog I keep during the day are both very sweet but can be quite rambunctious at times. They are both well trained and very friendly with people and other dogs. Before moving to Baton Rouge, I used to own my own business cleaning houses and have a lot of experience working in other people’s homes. I understand how difficult it can be letting someone new into your home, especially when you may not be there. I am a great communicator, very trustworthy, and have a flexible schedule. I often send pictures or videos of pets to keep you updated and let you know your fur baby is safe and happy!

Information Katie M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs that I can account for. For example, if they can be food aggressive, I can feed them in different rooms and avoid treats.

A typical day

I love to walk dogs as long as the weather permits, but I love to snuggle even more! I think I provide a healthy balance of both so your pet is both loved and exercised while you are away.

Pet care done your way!

Pet care experience

I’ve pet sat for friends and family for years and have been walking neighbors’ dogs for a few months. I have a large dog myself so I can be relied on to walk and care for large dogs. I currently keep a neighbor’s dog for doggy daycare about 2-3 hours during the day. They LOVE to play with each other and I have plenty of enrichment toys and treats to keep them occupied.

Katie is amazing with our group plus one! At times we have to throw in a plus one because we have a grand dog, and she always rolls with the punches. The dogs just love her! We have 3 Malinois, so she knows how to take care of dogs that are a hand full if you are worried about her caring for your dog!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
